Hmmm. . . maybe not entirely frivolous but i found myself watching some late night shopping channel action & ordered one of THESE, which has just been delivered!

To be fair there is the odd suspect stain on carpets & on the bathroom floor & kitchen tiles, so it may actually turn out quite useful.
Mum mums got one of these and loves it. It appers to bring the tiled floor in the kitchen up a treat.

I wanted a radio for the kitchen, could have just bought a £5 one from Dixons really. But then I spotted this:

I didn't need one but I have just ordered one. It was the '11' which caught me.

I had no idea whatsoever what to buy my girlfriend for Christmas. With ten days to go last night I, with far less research than Im happy about, bought a pair of white gold diamond earrings.

She doesnt really wear expensive earings, and she always looses either one earring or the back part to it. I expect that we will be one quarter carat down by new year!

I woke up with a big case of buyers remorse today. J-I1s so certainly not expensive for diamonds, definitely frivolous.

Wi-Fi SD card, works perfectly and is jammed full of features.... a great deal on Amazon too.

Only took 10mins to register and set up.

Great gadget smile
Just bought one, have no real need for it but I do have two cameras it will work with biggrin
And it has arrived today, and I am way more impressed with it than I should be! I'm tempted to buy another one as a Christmas present!

Although it has gone up now to £52.99 frown

There will be caveats to that question - for example is it a stainless Ruger (no cleaning required), a modified Beretta or some exotica?


What am I saying - OF COURSE YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE MAN!! biggrin

Its a rather nice old Cogswell and Harrison sidelock, with original (tatty case) However the price is very reasonable so it's probably sold....waiting to hear from the seller frown

I hope they perform as good as the price it commands! My pro flight simulator cost half of that and they are awesome (in realistic terms)

Hmm, If we count firearms as frivolous I may need to rethink my posting. 1 air rifle and a 12b in 2000 has grown to;
.410,
12b o/u
12b 3 shot semi synthetic
20b 3 shot semi
.17 HMR 16" CZ wooden stock heavy barrel + Mod
.22 lr CZ +mod synthetic + Mod
.22 lr Ruger 10/22 Volquartsen trigger, receiver and match barrel
.22 BSA Lighting XL Tactical
.22 Ultra multishot.
.223 Tika synthetic + mod & Bipod
.243 Browning x bolt synthetic + Mod + Bipod
.308 Blaser R8
.357 Marlin 1894c + red dot

Of great concern at present is the notion that pistols can still be purchased here. That won't please SWMBO...

Good work. Thing is i'd need a new cabinet too...or get rid of one of my existing bang sticks. My cabinet is for 6 but as the local FLO is human he said he'll let me have 7 as one is a folding .410....

Think he might come and have a work when the transfer papers for number 8 turn up on his desk....
